Chapter 527 - 536: Abandoned Selene Larkin

Chapter 527: Chapter 536: Abandoned Selene Larkin

The crowd looked at Stella Sterling and her group as if they were already dead.

Some sighed with pity, but most reveled in their misfortune.

It had to be said, this group was truly capable to have pushed Sanctyr Base into such a corner.

But in the end, they were no match for Sanctyr Base. Once they were defeated, their fate would be beyond miserable.

The thought that some of their own comrades had just died at the hands of this group filled them with anticipation and excitement.

They didn’t like Sanctyr Base, but they had grown accustomed to submitting to it.

They had to grovel and bow before Sanctyr Base, so why should this group be able to defeat them and stand tall?

"Sterling, be careful! There’s something strange about their abilities!"

Black Swan and the others shouted anxiously before charging forward to engage the Human Body Warriors.

The Human Body Warriors were indeed extraordinarily capable, but the people from Caeluna Base had taken Strong Medicine, giving them superhuman strength as well.

Therefore, they stood a fighting chance against the Human Body Warriors and wouldn’t be defeated immediately.

Stella herself didn’t make a move right away. She wanted to see just how powerful the products of Evan Sterling’s prized research truly were.

At the same time, she also wanted to test the combat strength of her people from Caeluna Base.

So she stood aside, observing.

When Evan Sterling and Miles Sanctus saw the people from Caeluna Base actually holding off the Human Body Warriors, shock flashed in their eyes, and they shrieked, "How is this possible?!"

They had poured immense effort into developing these warriors. Their combat strength was supposed to be far beyond that of any ordinary person.

Logically, they should have been able to completely crush the people from Caeluna Base. This current stalemate was completely outside their expectations.

The moment Black Swan clashed with the Human Body Warriors, their expression shifted.

They exchanged a look with Seven Locke at their side.

They realized that while this batch of Human Body Warriors was formidable and similar to the group they had encountered before, this "shipment" was significantly weaker than the last.

Their combat strength was still superhuman, but they were nowhere near as bizarre as the ones they had fought before.

The two of them breathed a silent sigh of relief.

Selene Larkin was initially ecstatic, waiting for Stella Sterling’s group to be defeated so she could humiliate them viciously.

So when the Human Body Warriors charged at Stella Sterling, she trembled with excitement.

But to her surprise, the people from Caeluna Base were incredibly strong.

She already knew from how easily they had captured her that this group’s abilities were extraordinary.

But now, seeing them hold their own against the Human Body Warriors, she began to tremble again, refusing to accept the reality before her.

’Why are Stella Sterling’s people so strong? Not just Stella herself, but even her subordinates are this capable.’

’Can they really defeat Stella Sterling? Will I ever get my chance for revenge?’

As she was lost in these thoughts, she suddenly felt herself being yanked.

She cried out, then, realizing who it was, glared furiously at Stella Sterling.

Stella Sterling gave her a casual glance, then gently placed a hand on her neck.

Her own hands were twisted behind her back, immobilizing her. All Selene Larkin could do was glare furiously at her captor.

Stella Sterling spoke to the two people who had been guarding Selene Larkin. "You two, go help out. This is a rare opportunity. Go and hone your combat skills."

"Yes, Sterling!"

The two of them nodded and charged into the fray.

Selene Larkin was furious when she heard this.

’What does Stella Sterling think she’s doing? Is she using our base’s Human Body Warriors as training dummies for her people?’

But no matter how furious she was, it was useless.

And though she was enraged, she hadn’t completely lost her senses. She held back from cursing at Stella Sterling.

’My life is in her hands. If I really provoke her, I’m done for.’

Stella Sterling paid no mind to Selene Larkin’s discretion. What she did or didn’t do was irrelevant at the moment.

Gripping Selene Larkin’s neck, she looked over at Miles Sanctus and said with a wide smile, "Boss Saint, your sworn sister is in my hands now. If you want to save her, tell your people to stand down."

Hearing this, Selene Larkin calmed down inexplicably. She looked toward her sworn brother, her heart a mix of hope and fear.

’She knew her sworn brother well. He was cold-blooded and ruthless. Even though she was his sister, he would probably never stop a fight just for her sake.’

’But she couldn’t help but hope. They had relied on each other to survive, had been through hell and back together for so long.’

’I’ve always been his right hand, loyal and devoted, serving him faithfully.’

’Maybe... maybe I’m different in his heart.’

If she could be rescued, she naturally had no desire to remain here and suffer humiliation at Stella Sterling’s hands.

And so she watched Miles Sanctus, her heart filled with anticipation.

But Miles Sanctus didn’t even spare her a glance. His tone was merciless. "The fact that she fell into your hands is a testament to her own incompetence. If she had any sense, she’d kill herself immediately instead of dragging down Sanctyr Base!"

Hearing his words, Selene Larkin’s eyes widened. A sharp pain lanced through her heart.

Although she had already suspected what Miles Sanctus’s decision would be, hearing him say such cold, heartless words with her own ears was still something Selene Larkin couldn’t accept.

She had always known her sworn brother prioritized his own interests above all else. He would never spare anyone who threatened them.

Even she, his sworn sister, was nowhere near as important as his ambitions.

So, she wasn’t truly surprised by his decision.

She just hadn’t expected him to be so utterly cruel. She had thought that after so many years of kinship, even if he were to abandon her, he would do so with hesitation, conflict, and pain.

But she saw none of that on his face. All she saw was cold cruelty and... disgust.

Yes, disgust. As if she were a useless piece of trash who not only had no value left to exploit, but was now just a burden dragging him down.

That was why he was disgusted with her.

She never imagined that in her sworn brother’s eyes, she deserved this fate. He not only thought she deserved to die, but that she should have died sooner.

Agony gripped Selene Larkin’s heart.

She wouldn’t have blamed her sworn brother if he had abandoned her, but for him to do it so decisively... She couldn’t help the resentment that now festered in her heart.
